So maybe my expectations were too high? If you can find them at the library, I say go for it! The first one is a quick read, so it's not a huge time investment if you find out you're not a fan.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-4883430590089907192014-03-11T13:34:06.440-04:002014-03-11T13:34:06.440-04:00EXACTLY.EXACTLY.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-40121280793201545142014-03-11T13:33:59.880-04:002014-03-11T13:33:59.880-04:00I own book two, so I'll definitely be continui...I own book two, so I'll definitely be continuing the series!

I think I was already predisposed to disliking zombies so it just wasn't going to be the "best" book for me.

It's so hard when a book is really hyped because (if I don't end up loving it) I'm never sure if it's because the book wasn't for me or because I just had WAY too high of expectations for it.

Unlike you, I've seen more MEH reviews (I hate that word) or not-great reviews than rave reviews but I've always kept it in the back of my mind because I think the cover is really neat (so shallow!). And now there is a sequel, so both are sitting in my library queue in case I want to give them a go. But I wonder if you think I would like them?? I'm thinking either probably not or wait until the series is completed...what do you think, knowing how I like books with creatures in them and stuff?

I found myself swept up in Eleanor's story, even though I figured out the twist early on too. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I like zombies, and necromancy and to have that combined with historical details was a potent combination for me. Plus, I loved Daniel. A lot.Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-56078932364368130472014-02-12T13:48:44.988-05:002014-02-12T13:48:44.988-05:00I had a hard time with this one too.

Plus, steampunk and I rarely get along.

It's nice to see your review (especially since I trust your opinions SO MUCH), just to tone down my expectations. I'm hoping to binge this one in the next couple of months ;)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191496127517215717noreply@blogger.com
